| Summary: | Trangender identities between body’s expression and constrictions. Self-determination in medicalized gender transition
Trans identities, through their non-conforming bodies, undermine a natural order based on the correspondence between sex and gender, which is poorly questioned in the common discourse. Medicine and scientific-technological development play, toward gender transition, an ambivalent role, oscillating between liberation and emancipation, and oppression and restoration of the order mentioned above. The medicalized model proposes, or imposes, rigid gender transition paths bound to a binary approach to gender, through normalization and rectification of bodies. Supported by a law that elevates the medicalized model to the only competent branch of knowledge, it overlooks the real voices and needs of trans people, who struggle to find space and strength to be heard and accepted.
